Answer 1

Open a command prompt, type 'ipconfig /all' and look for the IP of your DNS Server. Try to ping it, if you can ping it then type in 'nslookup'. You will get a > prompt, type in 'www.google.com' and see what happens. Not sure any of this will help but it might give you something to go on.

Answer 2

If none of the other answers work call your cable provider for the DNS address for your area. When u first get internet service the installer usually gives u the DNS address on your receipt. Then enter it in the DNS address space in your router setup & in the Windows network setup. Should work fine from there on.
